Uptown Dallas Today
The Stoneleigh Condo tower has a new owner and maybe a new life. The unfinished 12 story skeleton looms over the Uptown neighborhood. The tower was purchased out of foreclosure for apx. 4.55 million dollars. Much less than the amount already spent on the shell. With a little luck and a bank that will release it`s grip on some money this project may start again around September of 2010. Let`s hope so since this is a great location next door to the fabulous Stoneleigh Hotel.
Another crime drama will be filmed in Dallas. The creators of CSI have another crime story to tell. No its not CSI Dallas. The story is to be about the U.S. Marshall`s office and there search and apprehension of the bad guys. The name of the new project is "Chase" and lead roles are now being selected so it may be awhile before they begin filming. A Fox series , Code 58 , is being filmed in Dallas at this time.
Today is Norman Rockwell's birthday February 3rd 1894. The National Scouting Museum in Irving has the 2nd largest collection of his paintings. The Museum has 17 paintings in its permanent collection.
Spring arrives soon !
